I prefer Shelley’s but this is ok
I adored the 80 Days game and replayed it three times, so I decided to try this one. Unfortunately, Frankenstein is much more limited and not nearly as open ended in terms of what happens and how, which limits the value of revisiting it. I also find the writing, a bit of a pastiche, less interesting than Shelley’s.
Scam alert
On sale, but not updated to work with newest phone update. Lowering the price for a product that is literally not operational is pathetic. Scam. Con.
App does not work with iOS 11
Bought this app for a literature course that I’m currently taking. It was working fine with iOS 10. When iOS 11 came out, it stopped working because it need to be update it. Please update.
Not worth it💸
Not what I expected from inkle. 💸
Great book love it
Works perfect on my air 3 But where is the update for iPhone 6 plus. I'm not able to see it full screen
Brilliant, I love it!
Could you please fix that by having chapter 27 be This app is amazing exclaim it's wonderful being able to choose what happens during the Frankenstein story. I have one suggestion: in the extras portion, Chapters 26 and 27 are identical, except 27 has Walton's continuation of Letter 4 at the end. Could you please fix that by having chapter 27 be just the continuation of the fourth letter, without the Chapter 23 duplicate at the beginning of the twenty-seventh chapter? Otherwise, this app is awesome and I can't wait for the update!
Amazing.
I give it two thumbs up!
Updated to celebrate Frankenstein's 200 year anniversary with new content, that tells the story of how the novel was written.
